text: We present a computational approach for designing CurveUps, curvy shells that
form from an initially flat state. They consist of small rigid tiles that are
tightly held together by two pre-stretched elastic sheets attached to them. Our
method allows the realization of smooth, doubly curved surfaces that can be fabricated
as a flat piece. Once released, the restoring forces of the pre-stretched sheets
support the object to take shape in 3D. CurveUps are structurally stable in their
target configuration. The design process starts with a target surface. Our method
generates a tile layout in 2D and optimizes the distribution, shape, and attachment
areas of the tiles to obtain a configuration that is fabricable and in which the
curved up state closely matches the target. Our approach is based on an efficient
approximate model and a local optimization strategy for an otherwise intractable
nonlinear optimization problem. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach
for a wide range of shapes, all realized as physical prototypes.
